Detecting Food Safety Problems Quickly

Faster is better when it comes to finding the source of food safety problems.

Food contamination can bring more than a passing stomachache. E. coli, for example, has been linked to severe illnesses and deaths around the world. A lack of rapid detection tests has aggravated the problem. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Land-Grant universities have come forward to help industry establish rapid detection methods and address emerging issues in food safety.
